Benefits of technology

[0003]Due to its special configuration, on gripping the tree, the hydraulic piston that connects the two scissor arms expands, thus increasing the tightening torque whilst reducing the hydraulic pressure.
[0004]Furthermore, to bring about the vibration, the scissor-type vibrator has a cam to which a synchronised single or double rotation may be applied, and the vibration time may be regulated.

Problems solved by technology

With the aforementioned vibrating clamp, due to the situation of the hydraulic cylinder, high pressures are needed to close the two arms of the clamp.
Due to the need for this high pressure, which is associated with a multiplier effect thereof from the master cylinder that supplies the pressure to the hydraulic cylinder, malfunctions occur due to strain thereon.

Embodiment Construction

[0010]The present invention relates to a scissor-type vibrator for shaking trees wherein, on gripping the tree, the hydraulic piston that connects the two scissor arms expands, thus increasing the tightening torque whilst reducing the hydraulic pressure.

[0011]The scissor-type vibrator has two arms connected by an articulation that acts as the axis of rotation of one in relation to the other to open and close the mechanism.

[0012]The end of the arms that comes into contact with the tree has rubber pads protected by rubber flaps to prevent damaging the tree trunk.

[0013]The other ends of the arms have silent-blocks to balance the weights and prevent the vibrations and noise produced by actuating the vibrator.

[0014]One of the two arms extends backwards to the silent-block where one of the ends of the hydraulic cylinder is secured, whilst the other end is secured to the other arm in front of the articulation.

[0015]Once the arms grip the tree, a motor actuates a cam that transmits the move...

Abstract

The present invention is a scissor-type vibrator for shaking trees wherein one of the arms thereof extends backwards to achieve a better working lever so that, on gripping the tree, the hydraulic piston that connects the two scissor arms expands, thus increasing the tightening torque whilst reducing the hydraulic pressure, and furthermore, to bring about the vibration, the scissor-type vibrator has a cam to which a synchronised single or double rotation may be applied and the vibration time may be regulated.

Description

RELATED APPLCIATIONS[0001]This application is a 35 USC 371 national stage application based on international application PCT / ES2007 / 0701153 filed Aug. 30, 2007, which claims priority from Spain Application P200602360 filed Sep. 18, 2006.OBJECT OF THE INVENTION[0002]The object of the present invention is a scissor-type vibrator for shaking trees wherein one of the arms thereof extends backwards to achieve a better working lever.[0003]Due to its special configuration, on gripping the tree, the hydraulic piston that connects the two scissor arms expands, thus increasing the tightening torque whilst reducing the hydraulic pressure.[0004]Furthermore, to bring about the vibration, the scissor-type vibrator has a cam to which a synchronised single or double rotation may be applied, and the vibration time may be regulated.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0005]There are plenty of examples in the state of the art of vibrators for shaking trees that have two arms that are articulated at the opposit...
